Mdrguy101 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Hi. Appreciate thought on my Strange Tales 159. Several areas of concern...foxing on back cover and scuff mark on front cover. Thanks. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candygramformongo Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Is that spine rolled? I'm thinking 5.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 A clean/press will help here, but that ‘pull’ on the front cover will keep this below a 6.0…IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayowolf Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 That is some heavy sun shade on back. 5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 5.0/5.5 Press for a grade higher. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 The back cover toning indicates that an inspection of the inside front/back covers is in order. I would not be surprised if they were lightly to moderately tanned. In my opinion, the governing (or most serious) defect is the paper addition + paper loss to the right of Cap's left shoulder. All things considered, I think you're looking at a 4.0 VG to 4.5 VG+ specimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zegeroth Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) That’s not a scuff, that’s a full peel off. 3.5 from me. Without the tanning and top right crease I could maybe get to 4.5, but I’m at 5.0 before considering the peel.
